Case report: Thromboembolic and septic complications of migrated cyanoacrylate injected for bleeding gastric varices.
Endoscopic injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate combined with radio-opaque lipiodol is widely used to achieve haemostasis in bleeding gastric varices. We present a case of migration of injected cyanoacrylate, thrombus formation and subsequent septic embolisation.
